What is Shakespeare's greatest play and why is it the Tempest?

(Video contains a reading of Prospero's "We are such stuff as dreams are made on" in a reconstruction of a fairly conservative form of early 17th century pronunciation. Note the low mid vowels of "dream" and "globe" and the long vowel in "little".)
